Improvement in galloon tri mmings for garments



UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIGE.

ERNSI` BEEDT, OF YORK, N. Y.

IMPROVEMENT IN GALLOON TRIMMINGS FOR GARMENTS.'

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,5811, dated October 9, 1866.

To all 'wh-om it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNST BREDT, of the city and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use a certain new and useful Improvement in Corrugated Galleon I rimmings for Garments; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, wherein- Figure l is a view of a piece of galloon trimming of about the average width, and Fig. 2 is a view of the back surface; and Fio. 3 is an edge view of said improved galloon, enlarged to show the mode of its manufacture more clearly.

Similar marks of reference denote the same parts.

Galloons have heretofore been woven in a uted or corrugated form; but they were not adapted to use as a trimming for under-garments because in the washin g and ironing the luting or corrugations become obliterated.

The nature of my said invention consists in a galloon trimming formed of white cotton or linen with corrugations or flutes having a plain surface like a piece of fine muslin or linen. These eorrugations are connected together at their back portions by warps ruiming through the woven fabric, whereby the iiattening out of the corrugations during washing and ironing is prevented. My aforesaid galloon trimming is a new article of manufacture, highly useful and handsome in appearance, and adapted to maintain its corrugated appearance after it has been washed and ironed, the surface of these corrugations being woven plain and of a quality to correspond in appearance with a piece of fine muslin or linen iiuted by heated dies.

In the drawings, a is a heading of any desired width or pattern. Z1 b are warps running through the corrugated portion of the fabric straight, or nearly so. In the weaving of the corrugated portion of the trimming, the basev of each corrugation is interwoven with the warps b b, as seen at c, and then thejacquard or other movement keeps the warps b down out of the way while the corrugated portion of the fabricis bein g woven, of a greater length than the heading, so that when the weaving again brings in the warps b, and weaves them into the fabric between the corrugatons, tle corrugated portion forms an arc, as at d, while the warps b, going straight, tie the bases of the corrugations together, so that they will become but little flattened or displaced in washing or ironing.

This galloon trimming is made to correspond in appearance with cotton and linen used for garments, particularly of ladies and children.

rlhis galloon trim min g for garments is a new article of manufacture, and it will be seen that the corrugated portion of the galloon corresponds in appearance with the muslin or linen of which such garments are made, and said galloon is not twilled or its surface figured, so that the lint-ing looks like a plain rufde of linen or muslin pressed by heated irons or'rollers. No galloon of this character has ever before been made.

-What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isrEhe galloon trimming for linen and cotton garments formed with iiutes or corrugations, connected in the manner and for the purposes set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this 5th day of September, A. D. 1866.

ERNST BREDT.
